Chicago Amusement Parks

Looking for something fun and maybe just a little different to do in Chicago? There are countless unique amusements to be had in the Windy City Area. Here are a few suggestions of Chicago amusement parks to get things started:

Everyone has been through one of those dinky carnival funhouse mazes before. Think of those as the runty little brothers of the Amazing Chicago’s Funhouse Maze. This one offers 4000 square feet of incredible maze effects and optical illusions. Another attraction is Navy Pier Park, which offers old-fashioned fun in the form of a huge Ferris wheel and a carousel, as well as many other carnival-style rides and attractions.

Ride up to the Skydeck on the Willis/Sears Tower. Learn the true meaning of the words “I can see for miles and miles” while savoring the stunning views of four states: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Try out the new Sky Ledge feature and step out into a glass box that looks straight down to the streets 1353 feet below.

Chicago is of course a major league town in all respects. Take advantage of the opportunity to visit iconic Soldier Field, home of the Bears, or Wrigley Field, where the Cubs play. Don’t forget about the crosstown rival White Sox, basketball’s up-and-coming Bulls, or the NHL stalwart Blackhawks. There’s a season for everything on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Step back into time in suburban Hoffman Estates. Sit down to a table at the Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament. Where else can you eat with your fingers and cheer on your own champion as a group of mounted knights struggle for victory in a historically-correct Middle Ages joust?

Finding a Chicago amusement park is not hard. They are everywhere. The real problem is choosing which one to see first and whether you have time to see them all.
